Obituaries: Canadian Jazz Singer Kate Hammett-Vaughan, Scottish-Canadian Folk Star Enoch Kent

This week we also acknowledge the passing of former Santana vocalist Alex Ligterwood and Jamaican ska pioneer Carlos Malcolm.

Kate Hammett-Vaughan, a Vancouver-based and Juno-nominated jazz vocalist, died on May 7, at age 69, after a long illness.

An obituary posted in the Vancouver Province reports that "Kathryn Andrea Vaughan was born in 1957 in Nova Scotia. She studied English at Acadia University where she started singing jazz. The Great American Songbook would be her passion and profession for the next 50 years."
